I think I can help you with this, Beth. I live in Texas and I have a TexShare card, which is kind of like a library card for your whole state. I'm pretty sure I can have a book sent from another library to mine as part of this program, but I don't know about microform. Let me ask some questions and get back to you.

Ok, so TX A&M is willing to send it to my library as an inter-library loan, but I haven't found out whether my library has a way to scan it. A&M does, though, if I go there to view it. It's only a couple of hours away, and I do have some friends in College Station, so I may just go and make a day of it!

People have used their phones to take page images if that's possible ? I doubt it's a very large book. And yes I doubt English libraries would alow books still under copyright there to be copied. It is out of copyright in Australia so Beth is being legal

Yes, the feeling was that the book is only PD in the USA and Australia, and there's no copies held in Australia according to worldcat catalogue.

Rather than taking a long trip, it might be worth trying the inter library loan first? If there's a microform reader, phone photos work rather than a formal scan. Must include the publishing details of course, for PG clearance.

Thanks so much! If you want to solo/BC the book or take first pick of sections to read go right ahead!

I did decide to take the excuse presented and go for a day trip. Drive two hours to visit a library and hang out with a good friend? Of course! Why not?

So I am going tomorrow, and the librarian at A&M informs me that I can save the book on a flash drive, from which I can then upload it. I may need some help with that step, as I have no idea how it's done.

Yes - I nearly suggested you asked but then I thought , well we will manage - we must have at least one member who understands whatever they produce. But I do know archive will handle pdf.
So pdf or an image format would be great
